    Yes, human tails are hairless. Here are photos of vestigial tails on humans.

    Sometimes our body tries to include traits of our ape primate ancestors. Vestigial tails are not that uncommon. They are typically surgically removed from infants in 1st-world countries.

    Years ago, I realized DBZ would be way weirder if their tails were accurately hairless…

        They are just lumps of fat, not real tails, they are removed for cosmetic reasons

        I imagine you’d either have to sit on it, which is probably painful (maybe likely to even break it), or wear modified clothes and dangle that shit free for the world to see. Personally, I wouldn’t like either of those options.

      But apes don’t have tails.

      However approximately 25mya the monkey and ape lines split so itust have come from at least that far back.
